cation which reveals to the public that
large wholesale hardware establishment will,
before many months, be in operation here
Some months ago Mr.. a. N Spragg, of
Cincinnati, came to this city. He has spent
number of years in the wholesale hardware
business in his city and his visit here was to
look over the facilities favoring SINH
lar establishment. After giving the question
thorough investigation he was emphatic in
the belief that Wichita was in every way
suitable for wholesale hardware business
he communicated his IDEAS on the subject
to a number of the leading business men of
the city. They after some study Of the cues
ton came to the same conclusion and spent
little time i'll forming company.

ANOTHER BIG INSTITUTION.
The Baptist Church Of Kansas
Resolves to Act.
The Members OF Their Education al
Convention to Meet in Wichita
Next Tuesday.

| Like begets like, and it never rains but
pours, are ordinary experience of humanity.
To do business successfully one must go
where business is done.
| All the good things as well as all Of the dis
agreeable things of this life come by waves
and by floods.
He would be classical must seek the shades
and walks OF classical institutions.
The Baptist church is the second denomi-
nation in numerical strength or membership
in Kansas Rev W. F. Harper, the pastor
of that church in this city, is one of the
brightest educational men in the west, Of a
large and varied practical experience. And
he is not only an educational man, but man
of enlarged ideas when it comes to the con-
sideration OF such material questions as
effect humanity morally or Intellectually.
The past week number Of the representa-
tive men of the Baptist church met at the
capital of the state for the purpose Of con-
sulting each other touching that church,
educational interests in Kansas. w. F. Har-
per was there.
The church has thirty thousand conimuni-
cants in Kansas and nothing in the way of an
educational institution ranking as high as
good college. The result of the conference
was resolution favoiing the building in
Kansas of grand educational institution
worthy of the church. a university. The
next question which arose was where shall
it be founded! Dir. Harper, no doubt, with
his usual eloquence and happy manner set
forth the pre-eninent advantages offered by
Wichita, which is in the near future to be
C ONE great center not only educationally
but commercially. Of course, we suspect
his glowing words were received by his CO.
ad tutors as are the words of the EAGLE by
the people of the older bali of the state
with incredulity, with grave doubts as big
as a meeting house and with grains Of al
lowance which weighed a ton But the Bap
fist state educational committee agreedsto
come to our city, to come down 10 Wichita
and see for themselves. Next Tues
Or thirty of the leading men of that denomi-
nation in this state viii be with lis, be here
to verify the words of Mr.. Harper, to see for
themselves and to hear what our people
have to say There are two and a half mil
lion OF Baptists in the United States, and
within its communion are such great philan
Lhropists and shining lights as Rockefeller,
Colgate and Colby, and host of others, and |
iourishing beneath that churchs benign in
luen &c and Christian encouragement is the |
great Brown university, and Madison, and |
and others. And should not that
denomination impress itself upon the typical
and central state Of the union! There is but |
one answer to tie question. Why shouldn't |
that institution be located at Wichita: We
Ghi Tx it should, and believe that the friends
Of that church here together with our PEG
pie, will make an affirmative and satisfac-
tory response.

UNION DEPOT.
Settled at Last-Agony Over-Deeds Filed Yes.
terday for Depot site.

"Now | have some information for you
concerning the depot question" said a gentle
man Yesterday who is known to be on the III
side Of railroad news.
THE public have been on the ragged edge
Of expectancy long enough On this question
and the deeds filed today in the register of
deeds Office gives complete information on
that subject. 1 filed today three deeds for
Mr.. II. a. Low of the Rock Island which
will give tone to the column OF transfers.
There is not much doubt that any one viii
fail to note the loca ton. The location ques-
ton is the one that has been SO productive OF
speculation and at last ii is settled so far as
the Rock Island is concerned There depot
will be south of Douglas avenue near Will
liems street. The land of the Santa Fe and
Rock Island join between Mead and Fifth
avenues"
1t will also be noticed that today's trans
fer colu nm shows that quite large amount
of property in that section has lately
changed hands The gentleman who was in
teryiewed filed number of deeds yesterday
that call for property in that locality. This
would seem to add force to his statement
that the Recl Island had taken positive steps
toward depot site, as the same gentleman
was the one who made the purchases for Mr.
Low. No one seems TO doubt that his posi-
ton is such that be knows the intention of
the Rock Island and other companies.
Yesterday morning it was rumored
in some of the leading real
estate Offices that Mr. Low had
bought in that section. The result was that
those in possession of the news commenced
hunting over the books for property i'll that
locality Those who were on the inside OF
the secret moved at rapid gait and quite
large number OF sales We're made in that sec
ton.
It is remembered that Mr.. Low said some
time ago when in the city that he strongly
favored union passenger depot The offic-
ials Of the Santa Fe are quoted as coinciding
with the same views. These phenomena are
set down as good evidence that the Santa
Fe. W. & W., Frisco and the Rock Island
will unite and erect depot upon the site al
ready selected by the last men. toned.
